Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a laundry pole support suitable for use by being attached to the railing of a balcony in a high-rise residential building such as an apartment building.

[Prior Art and Its Disadvantages] A laundry pole support used by attaching it to the railing of a balcony in a high-rise residential building such as an apartment building has an arm that is oriented at 90 degrees horizontally to the base of the laundry pole support.
There are some that can be rotated forward and backward.

With this structure, the arm can only be rotated horizontally, so the height of the arm is always constant, and the height of the rod passed between the left and right arms is also always constant.

In today's urban housing situation, there are places where it is difficult to get sunlight due to the neighboring houses.In such places, it is desirable to raise the pole for hanging laundry as high as possible so that it can receive sunlight. That is not possible with a rotatable rod holder arm.

For this reason, some clothesline pole supports are designed to allow the angle of elevation to be changed in multiple stages from a horizontal position to diagonally upwards. , something gets in the way.

In addition, to lock the rotatable arm when drying clothes, you can fix the arm by directly fitting the convex part of the arm into the recess formed in the support part of the arm, or use the elastic force of the spring to fix the arm. However, with these, in order to rotate the arm, the arm must be lifted and rotated, and if it is equipped with a spring, it must be rotated while being lifted against the spring. First, it requires a considerable amount of force to rotate the arm, making it heavy and bothersome for women.

[Purpose of the present invention] In order to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, the present invention makes it possible to rotate the arm 90 degrees forward and backward with respect to an oblique axis.
When rotated in the normal direction, the rod holder is raised up at a 45° elevation angle, which allows the laundry to be exposed to the sun.Furthermore, when not in use, when the laundry is rotated 90°, it returns to a horizontal position and becomes a nuisance. It is now possible to provide a clothesline support device without a hanger.

In addition, the arm rotation operation, which conventionally required considerable force and was troublesome for women, can now be performed easily and without the need for force.

[Configuration of the present invention] The laundry pole support of the present invention includes an upper plate and a lower plate,
A notch shaft perpendicular to the bracket is passed through the bracket that protrudes diagonally upward at an elevation angle of 45°, and upper and lower bearing pieces provided at the base of the rod receiving arm are attached to both upper and lower ends of the notch shaft that protrudes from the bracket. The base of the lock lever, whose downward protrusion at the tip faces the reference hole drilled in the bottom plate of the bracket, is fitted onto the knock shaft, and the arm is rotatably supported on the lower bearing piece of the arm. A plurality of engagement holes are formed in the notch shaft, which can be rotated around the shaft to match the reference holes in the lower plate of the bracket, and the lower end of the notch shaft is connected to the shaft hole of the lower bearing piece of the arm by means of a spring mechanism. The structure is such that an elastic return force is applied in the axial direction so that the lock lever is protruded, and in this state, the protrusion of the lock lever is engaged with a desired engagement hole of the lower bearing piece of the arm. be.

[Example] Next, an example of the present invention will be described based on a specific example shown in the accompanying drawings.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 designates a base, and this base is provided with a bracket 2 that projects obliquely upward at an angle of 45°. This bracket 2 is constituted by a hollow body having an upper diagonal plate 2a and a lower diagonal plate 2b, and the bracket has a notch shaft 3 which passes orthogonally through both the upper and lower plates, that is, which is inclined at 45°, around the axis. It is mounted so that it can rotate and move in the axial direction.

Thus, the shaft hole 6a of the upper bearing piece 5a provided at the base of the arm 4 fits into the upper end of the knock shaft 3, and the lower end of the knock shaft 3 fits into the shaft hole 6a of the upper bearing piece 5a provided at the base of the arm 4. The shaft hole 6b of the arm 4 is fitted into the shaft hole 6b, so that the arm 4 can rotate forward and reverse around the axis of the knock shaft 3.

Furthermore, the knob shaft 3 is constantly pushed diagonally downward by a suitable spring mechanism, so that the lower end 3a is slightly protruded from the shaft hole 6b of the lower bearing piece 5b at the arm base.

That is, the knob shaft 3 has an upper spring receiving seat 7a.
is fixed, and by interposing a compression coil spring 8 between the upper surface of the spring receiving seat 7a and the lower surface of the upper bracket plate, an elastic restoring force is applied to the knob shaft 3 to constantly push it diagonally downward. ing.

Further, the lower bearing piece 5b of the arm base includes:
Three engagement holes 9a, 9b, and 9c are formed on the same circumferential line centered on the shaft hole 6b at intervals of a center angle of 90°.

Furthermore, the base of a lock lever 10 is fitted onto the knob shaft 3, and the diagonally downward protrusion 10a provided at the free end of the lock lever 10 is inserted into the hole formed in the lower plate of the bracket.
1 to the engagement hole 9 of the lower bearing piece in the arm.
It is adapted to be removably engaged with required parts a, 9b, and 9c.

In addition, in the illustration, the symbol 7b is the lower seat plate, 12
13 indicates a rod passage hole drilled in the arm, and 13 indicates a rod holder provided in the bracket.

In this embodiment, a pair of left and right bases 1 are appropriately fixed and attached to the railings 14 of a balcony in a high-rise residential building.

When the knob shaft 3 is pushed against the spring 8, the protrusion 10a of the lock lever 10 is disengaged from the engagement hole of the lower bearing piece 5b of the arm 4. Therefore, the arm 4 can freely rotate around the knob shaft 3, and the center engagement hole 9b is connected to the hole 11 in the lower plate of the bracket 2.
When the pressing force on the knob shaft 3 is released when the lock lever 10 matches the lock lever 10, the protrusion 10a of the lock lever 10 engages with the center hole 9b of the arm base, and the arm is locked. In this state, the arm is erected at an inclination angle of 45° (FIG. 1), and both ends of the clothesline 15 are supported by the rod passage hole of this erected arm.

When not in use, the arm is unlocked by pushing the knob shaft up against the spring, and the arm is rotated 90 degrees to the left or right to release the pressure on the knob shaft.

By doing so, the protrusion 10 of the lock lever
a is engaged with arm engagement hole 9a or 9c, and the arm is held in a horizontal state without standing up.

[Effects] As mentioned above, the clothesline pole support of the present invention can hold the arm diagonally upward when in use, so the clothesline can be mounted at a higher position than the balcony railing or wall mounting position. can be passed,
To improve sunlight exposure of laundry hung on a pole.

Also, when not in use, remove the arm as described above.
By rotating it 90 degrees, the arm becomes horizontal and can be returned to the outside of the balustrade without getting in the way.

Furthermore, according to the present invention, the arm is unlocked by pushing the knob shaft against the spring.
The arm can freely rotate around the knob axis, so unlike conventional models that rotate while supporting the arm, there is no need for any force to support the arm.
The arm can be rotated easily with a small amount of force, which is hassle-free and extremely convenient for women.
